This is the Way Over The Top Cube. It is a 21x21x21 Rubik's Cube; larger than the world record Over The Top 17x17x17 cube by M.Oskar Van Deventer. There are 2646 stickers on it. The 21x21x21 cube has 6.3 quingendoquadragintillion possible combinations.
Here are 10 questions for YOU to answer by replying:
1. Would such a puzzle be possible to make (The rubik's company could not make a 6x6 cube or larger because the corners would stick out too much when you turned a side 45 degrees)?
2. Would it be perfectly proportional (like on <5x5 cubes and the X cube 7), edges elongated but flat (like on a Shengshou 9x9), or would it be pillowed (like a V cube 7)?
3. Would it be possible to turn (Oskar's failed prototype of his Over the Top 17x17x17 cube was impossible to turn. If you tried to turn it, the cube would pop)?
4. Would it turn well and not have pops and lockups when the layers catch on themselves (The Pillowed 9x9 turns horribly, the Shengshou 9x9 turns much better)?
5. How would you take it apart (The retooled Rubix 5x5, when first bought, is almost impossible to take apart)?
6. What age would children start solving this puzzle (PeteTheGeek's video on the Shengshou 9x9 the box showed "Ages 14+" and "Skill Level: 6 Stars")?
7. Should it be tension adjustable and use screws, or not adjustable and be protected by rivets (The V cube 5, 6, and 7 used rivets, but the new V cube 4 is adjustable and uses screws)?
8. How long would the pieces go in to the puzzle (Oskar's Over The Top 17x17x17 cube, the center pieces go very far down into the puzzle)?
9. Should the stickers be tiles or vinyl stickers, should the stickers have a logo on them, and should the cube be DIY or assembled (The 17x17x17 cube comes in pieces from Shape ways)?
10. How much would it cost (Oskar's Over The Top 17x17x17 cube costs $1600 on the Shape ways website)?
And I could not post this in the right forum because I could not post in the Puzzle Mods forum.
